Gree pursues beauty, with a difference of 100 billion in half a year.

  In terms of scale, Gree Electric lags behind Midea Group in air conditioning, small household appliances and diversified businesses, with a total revenue difference of 98 billion yuan in the first half of 2023. However, judging from many data, Gree still has its own advantages, such as abundant cash on the account and high gross profit margin of air-conditioning business.

  Revenue reached a new high in the first half of the year, and net profit did not return to a high point.

  If one sentence is used to describe the semi-annual report of 2023 released by Gree Electric on the last day of August, it is that "all aspects are recovering, but many data are hidden".

  Let’s look at the overall revenue and net profit performance-99.79 billion yuan and 12.35 billion yuan in the first half of the year, respectively. The former hit a record high, but the year-on-year growth rate was small, only 4.16%, while the latter maintained a growth rate of 14%, but it still did not reach the level of 2018 and 2019.

  Such growth has not kept pace with the market.

  Under the influence of El Ni? o phenomenon, there was a rare high temperature in the first half of 2023. Stimulated by this, although the real estate industry remained sluggish, the sales and retail sales of domestic household air conditioners increased by 12.72% and 16% respectively, which was much higher than Gree’s overall income and air conditioning income.

  On a larger scale, Gree Electric, which lags behind the market, is also gradually falling behind in the world. According to the latest data, the threshold for entering the Fortune 500 in 2023 is 225.165 billion yuan, while Gree’s annual income in 2022 is 190.151 billion yuan, and there is still a certain gap. From 2019 to 2022, Gree Electric’s ranking in the Fortune 500 has also dropped from 414 to 487.

  In terms of revenue composition, Gree Electric’s revenue of 99.79 billion yuan in the first half of this year accounted for more than 1% of the business, including air-conditioning business that contributed 70% of the revenue, eco-agriculture and green energy services that contributed 2.92% of the revenue (mainly including buses and energy storage equipment under Gree Titanium), and small household appliances that contributed 2.18%.

  In addition, industrial products and other businesses contribute a total of 23.6% of revenue, which is actually quite eye-catching.

  A small number of industrial products mainly include compressors, motors, molds, etc., which belong to To B business, while other businesses mainly focus on purchasing upstream raw materials, mainly to play the role of bulk purchasing and lowering prices. After purchasing, they are sold to upstream processing enterprises, with a gross profit margin of only about 2%, which mainly plays a role in expanding income scale from a financial point of view.

  It is worth noting that although the overall income of Gree Electric reached a new high in the first half of 2023, if the "other businesses" that hardly make money are deducted, the total remaining income has not actually returned to the level of the first half of 2019, and the income from air conditioning business alone is even worse than that in 2018 and 2019.

  In addition to self-comparison, we can better understand what such data means by horizontally comparing Gree Electric with its old rival Midea Group. In the first half of 2023, Gree lost 98.006 billion yuan compared with Midea Group’s total revenue of 197.796 billion yuan.

  Fairer, if the "other income" of the two companies is deducted, Gree has fallen behind the United States by 100.969 billion yuan, which is the biggest gap in the main income of the two companies in history.

  So where is the difference between the 100 billion yuan?

  In terms of air-conditioning business, Gree has been at a disadvantage since 2020, and the gap has been widening in the past three years. The gap in the semi-annual report has expanded to 22 billion yuan; In the field of small household appliances, in the first half of 2023, Gree Electric’s income was only 2.177 billion yuan, while Midea Group’s income was 30 times higher than that of 68.136 billion yuan.

  In addition to home appliances, Gree Electric’s industrial products, green energy and smart equipment businesses generated a total revenue of 8.7 billion yuan in the first half of 2023, which is about half of the revenue of Midea Group’s robots and automation systems.

  It is worth noting that both companies are making efforts in the automation and intelligent production of To B, but the paths are different.

  Judging from the semi-annual report, Gree Electric emphasized the technology and quality of core components such as compressors (core devices of air conditioners) and motors (power sources of electrical appliances), but Midea Group emphasized the complete solutions for different scenarios in the fields of medical care, entertainment and consumption.

  If we distinguish between domestic and foreign income, after deducting "other business", Gree Electric’s domestic income actually lagged behind that of the United States 10 years ago, but the gap was small. Until 2023, the gap in the semi-annual report has expanded to 47.5 billion yuan, the highest in the past years, equivalent to 59% of Gree’s only beauty.

  The bigger gap is overseas income. The gap between the two has expanded from 18.5 billion yuan in the first half of 2014 to 67.7 billion yuan in the first half of 2023. Gree’s current overseas income is only equivalent to 16% of Midea Group.

  At least in terms of scale, Gree Electric has indeed fallen behind Midea Group in terms of air conditioning, small household appliances and diversified businesses, and the gap has also reached a new height.

  "Sequela" of Dealer’s Rebellion

  In addition to the overall performance, a series of subtle changes can be seen in the semi-annual report in 2023, which may be related to the "rebellion" of some dealers in Gree Electric last year.

  In the first half of 2023, the sales expenses in Gree Electric increased by 71.01% year-on-year. The semi-annual report showed that it was mainly due to the increase in product installation and maintenance fees, but the air-conditioning revenue in the current period only increased by 1.82% year-on-year, which was in sharp contrast.

  Although in absolute terms, the sales expenses of 8.41 billion yuan in the first half of the year are not the highest in the semi-annual reports over the years, it is the first time to look through the financial reports over the years, like in the first half of 2023, because of the installation and maintenance costs, the sales expenses have risen sharply.

  As a leader in the field of air conditioning, the probability of a sudden surge in maintenance costs due to quality problems in the first half of the year is not great, so it is more likely that the installation costs have increased substantially. But why did the air conditioner sell less than 2% more, and the sales cost rose by 71% because of the installation cost?

  In fact, the after-sales business of air conditioners has always been the responsibility of distributors all over the country. They also manage the air conditioner sales business and after-sales business including installation and maintenance in the corresponding areas. When installation services occur, the distributors will charge certain fees from the air conditioner manufacturers, and they will also charge customers aerial work fees, material fees and so on according to the situation.

  In September, 2022, Gree fell out with dealers in Hebei, who published a Notice, describing a series of inside information that Zhuhai Gree headquarters shut down the after-sales service management authority of Hebei Gree Company, and after Gree Zhuhai Hengge took over the after-sales service in this area, it proposed sales performance tasks for maintenance points, changed the preferential policies that Hebei Gree used to provide such as free overhead fees and free punching fees, and so on.

  After the two parties parted ways, the new distributor that Gree Electric was looking for in Hebei surfaced-Eye-searching showed that Gree Zhuhai Hengge Digital Technology Co., Ltd. mentioned in the Notice was previously owned by Zhuhai Hengge Trading and Jiangsu Saifu Green Food Development Co., Ltd., but the latter withdrew in May this year and Xiamen Saifu Trading Co., Ltd. became the new shareholder.

  It is noteworthy that Liu Qiangdong and ZhangZetian once appeared among the shareholders of Jiangsu Saif Green Food, but they withdrew from the shareholders in 2020. The legal representative of Xiamen Saif Trade, the new shareholder, is Zuo Yujie, just like Jiangsu Saif Green Food.

  According to the public information, Zuo Yujie has a close relationship with JD.COM. He used to work in JD.COM and still serves as the chairman of Runjing Information Technology Co., Ltd., which is the operator of JD.COM Wine World, and JD.COM Wine World is an omni-channel wine retail enterprise invested by JD.COM.

  In addition to the 71% increase in sales expenses, the contractual liabilities of Gree Electric (that is, the advance payment paid by dealers) rose by 79.7% to 28.972 billion yuan at the end of June 2023, while the operating cash inflow increased by 40% to 127.9 billion yuan year-on-year. It can be considered that the changes in important distribution channels have brought a series of effects, that is, new dealers have large-scale purchase demand, which brings considerable cash flow and contractual liabilities, and at the same time corresponds to the regional after-sales service system.

  In addition, considering the above indicators comprehensively, there is another possibility, that is, delaying the recognition of income and recognizing expenses in advance.

  In this case, a considerable part of the goods have been sent to the dealers, and the payment has been received, and the installation has been completed after the sales by the dealers. However, Gree Electric did not settle this part of the payment with the dealers for some reason, which led to the fact that it is still reflected in the books as contract liabilities rather than income. However, the installation expenses that have occurred have already been reflected in the sales expenses because they need to be included in the corresponding period, which leads to a huge difference between the increase of income and sales expenses.

  In either case, the high probability is related to the change of dealers, and it can also be regarded as the sequela of the "rebellion" of important dealers in Gree Electric in 2022.

  Gree still has its own advantages.

  Even if the overall performance lags behind Midea Group, many indicators in the 2023 semi-annual report are affected by changes in dealers, but from many data, Gree still has its own advantages.

  The first is ample cash in the account.

  At the end of June, 2023, Gree’s book cash and wealth management reached about 200 billion yuan, more than all the cash and wealth management on the books of Midea and Haier combined, but it should also be noted that 64.219 billion yuan of them were restricted funds.

  At the same time, the gross profit margin of Gree Electric’s air-conditioning business returned to a high level of 35.69% in the first half of 2023. In the same period, Midea Group’s air-conditioning gross profit margin was only 23.29%, while Haier Zhijia’s was 28.62%, which was related to Gree’s greater focus on air-conditioning, which led to higher overall asset operation efficiency, as well as a certain cost advantage gained by centralized procurement of raw materials, which was of course a direct manifestation of its brand premium.

  If we compare the per capita income and per capita profit, Gree Electric will be the highest in 2022. Because of this, although the total revenue of Gree Electric and Midea Group in the first half of the year is nearly 100 billion yuan, the difference in net profit is only about 6 billion yuan. Haier Zhijia, whose income is 32% higher than that of Gree Electric, has a net profit of only 73% of that of Gree Electric.

  These all point to one of Gree Electric’s greatest advantages-that is, it can earn more money with higher efficiency in the established field of air-conditioning business.

  However, the capital market of "voting with your feet" only gives Gree Electric about half of the current market value of Midea Group, which shows that it is not enough to have a strong ability to make money in one field, and the scale of revenue is also very important.

  In contrast, Midea Group seems to have chosen another path.

  Ten years ago, Midea Group began to lay out multi-category household appliances and overseas business. Although at a certain stage, the product lines were messy and redundant, it could be improved through necessary simplification and transformation. The longer-term significance lies in broadening the possibilities and having a greater first-Mover advantage in related tracks. Especially when the external environment changes, such advantages may bring subversive development.

  It’s not that Gree Electric doesn’t want to embrace diversity and look for the second or even third curve, but the exploration in these years has not been smooth. Compared with the traditional thinking, the early smart phone project was flooded, but the unreliable Yinlong was chosen for the new energy grand track, and the small household appliances business was slow to progress because it entered too late, not to mention the overseas market that could not open the situation by adopting conservative strategies.

  Interestingly, just like Midea Group, which has developed a number of business segments as the driving force for subsequent growth, He Xiangjian also retired early and chose Fang Hongbo as his successor. On the other hand, in Gree Electric, the issue of successor has been unresolved, and 69-year-old Dong Mingzhu is still closely bound with brand IP and active in front of the stage.

  The difference between the two can also be seen from the age of management. The average age of 16 Dong Jiangao in Gree Electric (one of whom has no information) is 57 years old, and only one of them, Dong Mingzhu, has an annual salary of more than 5 million yuan, with a salary of 11.42 million yuan in 2022.

  In contrast, the average age of the 22 directors of Midea Group is 50 years old, and 8 of them earn more than 5 million yuan a year. Among them, the chairman Fang Hongbo earned 11.3 million yuan in 2022, while the average age of the 21 directors of Haier Zhijia is 52 years old, and no one earns more than 5 million yuan a year.

  Even if we only consider the air-conditioning business, it is not difficult for Gree Electric to maintain single-digit growth, and it is understandable to describe it as a relatively stable and solid manufacturing industry. However, in order to break through the existing situation and catch up with the rhythm of the times again, Gree obviously has to continue to look for its own possibilities.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the prevalence rate of men over 70 years old is nearly 50%

Recent studies have found that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the significant factors that affect the death of patients in COVID-19. Among the dead people in COVID-19, the proportion of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is 6%, but only 1% among the surviving people. In addition, although patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may not be more likely to be infected with Covid-19, they are more likely to die when they are infected.

What is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease? Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema characterized by airflow obstruction, which can further develop into chronic diseases of cor pulmonale and respiratory failure. Different from common chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is often not well known.

1. The prevalence rate of COPD in men over 70 years old is nearly 50%, and the difference between male and female is nearly 1 time.

According to the latest China Lung Health Survey (CPH2018), among 50,991 people surveyed from June 2012 to May 2015, the prevalence rate of COPD was 8.6%. Based on this, it is estimated that about 99,900 million people in Chinese suffer from COPD. The prevalence rate of COPD increases with age. The prevalence rate of people over 40 years old is significantly higher than that of people aged 20-39. The prevalence rate of COPD in men over 70 years old is nearly 50%. At the same time, the prevalence rate of men in all age groups is higher than that of women, and the prevalence rate of men over 30 years old is more than twice that of women.

 

                                Figure 1: Prevalence of COPD in different gender and age groups.

2. Smoking is the main risk factor, and air pollution is the main risk factor for non-smokers to get sick.

CPH2018 also made a statistical analysis of possible risk factors of COPD, including smoking, air quality, BMI, family history, education, etc. The results showed that smoking, air pollution, low BMI and parents’ history of respiratory diseases were all risk factors of COPD, among which smoking and air pollution were the main risk factors.

 

                         Figure 2: odds ratio (OR) of 2:COPD risk factors

Note: odds ratio (OR, Odds ratio) is the ratio of the exposed and unexposed people in the case group divided by the ratio of the exposed and unexposed people in the control group. Greater than 1 indicates that this factor is a risk factor, less than 1 indicates that this factor is a protective factor, and equal to 1 indicates that this factor does not work.

The analysis also shows that smoking history has a significant impact on the overall prevalence of COPD, and the prevalence of COPD increases with the increase of smoking years. Air pollution has no significant effect on the prevalence of COPD in the whole population, but it has a significant effect on non-smoking groups. The more serious air pollution is, the higher the prevalence of COPD is.

            Figure 3: Smoking history and COPD prevalence Figure 4: Smoking years and COPD prevalence.

 

                                 Figure 5: Air quality and COPD prevalence rate

The Prospective Research Project of Chronic Diseases in China also published a survey of 280,000 non-smoking adults in China in 2019. The results show that using solid fuel is an important risk factor for major respiratory diseases, and switching to clean fuel such as natural gas can reduce the risk. Because chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is related to the concentration of sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide, people who are engaged in jobs with dust environment, such as teachers and coal miners, are also prone to COPD.

3. The prevalence rate of people over 40 years old is different in different regions, with the highest in southwest China (20.2%) and the lowest in central China (10.2%).

The research conducted by China Center for Disease Control and Prevention on 66,752 people in 2014-2015 found that the prevalence rate of COPD over 40 years old also showed obvious differences in different regions, with the highest prevalence rate in southwest China (20.2%) and the lowest in central China (10.2%).

 

                        Figure 6: Prevalence rate of COPD among people over 40 years old in different regions.

4. Up to 56% of COPD patients may have cognitive impairment.

A large number of neuropsychological tests suggest that up to 56% patients may have cognitive impairment. The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (GOLD)2021 also pointed out that cognitive impairment is common in COPD patients, and the prevalence and severity vary according to the evaluation type, with an average prevalence of about 32%. Moreover, cognitive impairment will aggravate the health problems of COPD patients. Compared with patients with single disease, patients with cognitive impairment and COPD have a higher respiratory-related hospitalization rate of 48% and a higher mortality rate of 3 times. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to help patients with complications to carry out effective self-management.

In addition, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, depression/anxiety are also common and important complications of COPD.

5. The mortality rate of COPD has decreased obviously year by year, but it is still high compared with other developed countries.

The mortality rate of COPD in China decreased from 99/100,000 in 1990 to 68/100,000 in 2017, and the mortality rate of standardized age decreased by 68.6%. Although the mortality rate in China is decreasing year by year, it is still at a high level compared with other developed countries (see the figure below).

                       Figure 7: Mortality rate of male COPD patients aged 50-74 in countries around the world.

 

6. The diagnosis rate is lower than 30%, and the proportion of hospitalization is lower than that of outpatient treatment.

The diagnostic rate of COPD in China is between 23.61% and 30.00%, which shows that the diagnostic rate of COPD in China is low and the missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis are serious. On the one hand, COPD is asymptomatic in the early stage. In epidemiological screening, more than 70% of patients (I~II stage) have little or no symptoms, and even if they have symptoms, they just cough and expectoration, which has not attracted the attention of patients. On the other hand, due to the cost of examination and technical operation, lung function examination, as a gold standard for the diagnosis of COPD, has not been popularized in many hospitals (especially in primary hospitals), resulting in many patients not being diagnosed with COPD in time and delaying treatment.

             Table 1: COPD pulmonary function staging (GOLD staging) [After inhaling bronchodilator]

In addition, the diagnosis and treatment of COPD in China is also more severe. The conventional treatment rate of COPD patients is only 7.9%, and 84% of patients with stage ⅱ and above have not received treatment. The proportion of COPD patients receiving outpatient treatment is about 50%, while the proportion receiving hospitalization is only between 8.78% and 35.60%.

7. The average medical expenses of COPD ranged from 5,000 yuan to 16,000 yuan.

At present, no scholars have studied the medical expenses of COPD patients nationwide, and most of the research on COPD expenses is limited to local or regional areas.

A study on the medical expenses of COPD patients in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province found that from October 2012 to October 2013, the hospitalization expenses of male patients and female patients are shown in the following table. Among them, the average total hospitalization expense for men is 16,000 yuan, while that for women is 14,500 yuan, and only about 30% is borne by individuals.

 

 

                            Table 2: Hospitalization expenses of COPD patients in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province

In recent years, because the prevalence rate in southwest China is higher than that in other regions, many scholars have begun to choose southwest China to study the treatment cost of COPD patients. The following table is part of the research results, from which we can find that the overall cost of the western region is low, and the average hospitalization cost does not exceed 10 thousand yuan. In addition, according to the survey data of Sichuan province, the cost of western medicine accounts for the highest proportion, accounting for 38.32%, followed by the cost of diagnosis, accounting for 24.41%.

 

                               Table 3: Hospitalization expenses of COPD patients in western China 

8. About 58% of commonly used drugs for COPD have been included in the medical insurance catalogue.

COPD can be divided into stable stage and acute exacerbation stage according to the progress of the disease course. In the stable stage, the symptoms such as cough and shortness of breath are stable or mild, while in the acute exacerbation stage, the respiratory symptoms that lead to additional treatment are seriously aggravated, and the patients’ cough and wheezing are aggravated, or may be accompanied by fever and other inflammatory manifestations. Drug therapy is a common treatment for COPD. GOLD2021 edition points out that drug therapy can alleviate COPD symptoms and reduce the frequency and severity of acute exacerbation. At present, there are data showing that drug therapy can reduce mortality. It is worth noting that COPD patients need to take drugs for a long time, mainly inhaled drugs, supplemented by oral drugs. With the progress of COPD, the therapeutic drugs and management methods used have been adjusted.

Mingming: the conjectured martial arts+petty bourgeoisie

As a film directed by Susie Au in Hong Kong, it should be an experimental MV feature film, which was released simultaneously in Hong Kong and the Mainland on April 26th. The following are some impressions I got from the "VIP" environment of the cinema near the booking room.

1. Story
Susie Au is a novice as a film director, but he is very famous for shooting MV and advertising. It is precisely because of the accumulation of experience and reputation in those fields over the years that Susie Au has the ambition to take charge of the film guide. The story of Mingming revolves around a mysterious box. The story is not complicated, and there are not many side effects, and the burden of shaking is not brilliant. Mingming and NANA, who are played by Zhou Xun, are the two main threads of the story. Because both of them like Daniel Wu, the two main lines of the movie can meet in Daniel Wu, and finally the story contained in the mysterious box is explained. It turns out that Jeff Chang Shin-Che was transformed by Daniel Wu’s mother. The story seems a bit interesting, but it’s a pity that the director is overconfident in his own experience in filming MV. He not only transplanted a lot of special expression techniques of MV, but also treated a film as a multi-stage MV, which became overly dependent on technology and exposed the pallor of characterization. The film was impetuous and under-polished, and in order to accommodate the director’s need to show off his skills, he sacrificed the actor’s own play. Because the handling methods of MV are mostly implicit and surreal, in Mingming, the implication is treated as mysterious, while surrealism becomes a martial arts speculation. A good realistic story is packaged as a martial arts drama, which is neither fish nor fowl in itself. If it is for the sake of box office, it can only be lamented that when to cut the foot and fit the shoes will be exhausted, and in the end, painting a tiger will not be a dog. If it is the director’s personal will, then both the director and the screenwriter should go to cram school for movie scripts and broaden their horizons.The names of Mingming or NANA the Walking Man are not accurate enough, and even it is suspected that more videos have been taken, and the processing of contiguous names has become MV-like, because neither Mingming nor NANA constitutes the only protagonist and has no complete overwhelming weight, so it is not as appropriate as the farce caused by a box, haha!

2. Modeling & Clothing
Modeling and clothing are the highlights of Mingming, with cool tone, black outfit and smoky outfit to create cool Mingming, Leng Yan and aloof; Create a lovely NANA with warm colors and red costumes, which is naive and pure. The two are visually distinct, which is conducive to Zhou Xun’s play. As a result of the experience accumulated in MV shooting, I have mastered the use of costume and modeling, and it is obvious that NANA is successful, but Daniel Wu’s A D is more than a failure. The appearance of A D was expected to be quite high, with a wonderful tattoo wrapped in flowers and full of domineering. When the camera focuses on A D again, it becomes Daniel Wu with a beggar’s hairstyle, which weakens its deep temperament, and then the obscene stowaway dress is reminiscent of Daniel Wu’s dress in Night in Mong Kok. Coupled with the plot of beating up hooligans, the trace of copying the upgrade of Master Xing in Kung Fu and beating the axe gang out of the water is very heavy. Daniel Wu was destroyed by these patchwork memories, and there was no unified and profound image, so he lost the persuasiveness and charm of his characters.

3. Vision & Sound Effect
Visual effect is a symbolic way to reflect the director’s personal style, and it is also an intuitive window to show a film. Photographer-born directors pay more attention to picture composition, style or domineering, or aestheticism, or simplicity, and so on. Anyway, they deeply explore their inertia when they are photographers and form their own style. Susie Au is an experienced director of MV. He knows the eye catching function of visual effects well. He applies the fashionable and post-modernist style used in filming MV to Mingming. The split-lens treatment is very strong, and he likes to read the story only once in a while, or even dabble in it. The ultra-modern deconstruction is very impressive when interpreting Mingming. Obviously, the plot of breaking into Mao Ge’s lair alone and plundering 5 million yuan is very strong, and the constantly changing visual narrative points are really amazing. Unfortunately, the excitement is only a few minutes, and the story behind it is a bit boring.

4. Actors
The focus of this film is Zhou Xun VS Zhou Xun. In fact, the role weight of the film design and the role of the surrounding characters make Zhou Xun’s light cover everyone, which is just the same. On the other hand, the best actress in the last three Hong Kong Film Awards ceremonies was awarded to Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun and Gong Li respectively. It can be seen that mainland big-name actresses have successfully captured the Hong Kong film market, which actually reflects the embarrassment of Hong Kong film industry actresses who are young and yellow. Cecilia Cheung, who is full of aura, has switched to BB, while Lin Jiaxin, the boss, has not made progress. Others are old and tender, and most of them are affected by affectation, but few of them are admitted to the room. A deeper consideration is that co-productions need mainland actors to support their faces before they can freely jump into the broad market mind of the mainland. Under this balance, the faces of mainland actors will sway more and more in Hong Kong-made films. On the other hand, Zhou Xun’s performance is really remarkable. Two girls with the same appearance but completely different personalities and identities are not perfunctory, and the handling level of the roles is also very clear, with a strong sense of contrast, which is not superficial. This is worthy of recognition, and of course it is also related to the director’s efforts to shape and attach the greatest importance to these two roles.

Daniel Wu’s role feels marginalized, which is related to the director’s indecisiveness. At first, A D always showed people in profile, never giving a positive shot, and the repeated appearances of A D all came from Mingming or NANA’s mouth. When A D had to go out, Daniel Wu’s play was greatly limited due to the mysterious mentality of the director, which made him become a puzzling and mysterious man, and his confession was not strong enough, resulting in the dislocation of his role.

Yang Youning, who won the Golden Horse Best New Actor Award for "Seventeen-year-old Sky", plays Atu, whose role was originally designed as a punk with a crush, but Yang Youning made Atu both green and rustic. Jeff Chang Shin-Che’s Mao Ge is hard to comment on, only to say that he completed several gestures ordered by the director well and was not impressed.

In a word, Mingming was not successful as a film; For Susie Au, as Brother Fage said, the advertising slogan, "Success? I just got on the road! "

Moderate "Dove" Biden advocates contact rather than confrontation.

Topic: 2008 US Presidential Election


In 2001, Biden boarded the Great Wall as a souvenir during his visit to China.



In 2001, when Biden visited China, he visited a village in the suburbs of Beijing and shook hands with the children in the village.


  This newspaper comprehensively reported that Biden was chosen as Obama’s deputy, largely relying on his rich experience in military diplomacy. In American politics, Biden belongs to a moderate dove. He advocates contact with other countries to understand rather than simply confrontation.


  When he was young, Biden opposed the Vietnam War. After being elected as a senator, Biden, then chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, supported the Bush administration’s decision when it invaded Afghanistan and Iraq in 2001 and 2003 respectively. However, Biden later changed his position and criticized the Bush administration for its improper handling of the Iraq issue.


  In 2006, Biden and Leslie Gelber, former chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, announced a plan to solve sectarian conflicts in Iraq. He called for the establishment of a federal system in Iraq and arranged for Kurds, Shiites and Sunnis to establish republics in their respective regions. Biden supports the US government’s diplomatic contacts with Iran.


  Be keen on formulating foreign policy


  Biden is skeptical and reserved about the missile defense system vigorously promoted by the Bush administration. He believes that the world is still in the transition period after the Cold War, and the "new world order" predicted by many people has not yet arrived. The strategic relationship between the United States and the world’s major powers is at a critical moment, and the missile defense system will affect their attitude towards the United States.


  As a senior member of the Democratic Party in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Senate, Biden is quite active in the formulation of American foreign policy, especially in anti-nuclear and arms control. In 1997, he took the lead in pushing the Senate to ratify the Chemical Weapons Convention and supported the prevention of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. In 1999, Biden tried to push the Senate to pass the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, but failed.


  Visited China twice.


  Oppose being an enemy of China


  On China policy, Biden advocates the one-China policy, and the Taiwan Strait issue must be resolved peacefully in accordance with the wishes of the people on both sides of the strait. He visited China twice in 1979 and 2001. In August 2001, Biden, then chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, visited China, stressing that the relationship between the United States and Asia, especially China, is extremely important, and the US government should continue to contact China and strive to develop friendly and cooperative relations between the two sides.


  Biden said: "American conservative think tanks regard China as a potential enemy, and I totally oppose this view." He said: "Most Americans and most US congressmen believe that although China is not an ally of the United States, it can become a friend of the United States." He said that the relationship between the United States and China can be summarized by the word "convergence of interests", and the two countries share common interests in maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and preventing nuclear proliferation.


  US President Bush signed the new National Space Policy in 2006, saying that the US government has the right to prohibit anyone who is "hostile to American interests" from using space. This is the first time in 10 years that the United States has made an overall and comprehensive revision of its space policy. Some analysts said that Bush’s move was aimed at China. Biden warned against launching an arms race in space against China. Biden said: "I don’t think we need to worry too much (about China)."

China’s "mountain-piercing armor" was exported to Indonesia to build a large shield machine in Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway, and a new breakthrough was made.

[Reporter Zhao Hanqing in front of the Global Network Report] On September 29th, the first super-large diameter (13.19 meters) slurry air pressure balance shield machine independently developed by China for export to overseas high-speed rail was successfully rolled off the production line in China Communications Day and the assembly workshop, and it will be used to promote the "Belt and Road" construction project in Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway and promote the local economic development.

High-speed rail is an advanced means of transportation to facilitate people’s travel, a business card for China and a major project to promote the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. However, the construction of high-speed rail is not easy, and sometimes it is necessary to dig tunnels to cross obstacles such as river buildings. At this time, a heavy weapon: shield machine is needed.

Shield machine is an artifact of tunneling, which is compared to "pangolin" by the staff of China Communications Tianhe, and is also dubbed "Tuxingsun" by many netizens. The tunnel built with it can help the high-speed rail cross the river, cross the sea and pass through important structures. This shield machine will drill a 1.4-kilometer-long tunnel, which will enable the Indonesian Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway Project to cross the expressway and an airport from underground. The shield machine construction has little impact on the surrounding environment, high precision in ground settlement control, and is safe and fast. In addition, the shield machine can also help the subway to cross various building obstacles and the expressway to cross the river and the sea.

Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway is a demonstration project to promote China high-speed railway to go global, and it is also the first single project for China’s high-speed railway to go global from technical standards, survey and design, engineering construction, equipment manufacturing and material supply to operation management, personnel training and comprehensive development along the line. It connects Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, to Bandung, the fourth largest city, with a total length of 142 kilometers and a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour, which will shorten the driving time between the two places from more than three hours to 40 minutes. The project has attracted the attention of the heads of state of China and Indonesia.

This super-large diameter shield machine took 8 months to complete. The cutter head has a diameter of 13.19 meters, a length of about 101 meters and a weight of more than 2,600 tons. The tunnel dug is enough for two-way high-speed trains to pass. This has also become the first super-large diameter slurry balance shield machine for high-speed rail exported overseas in China. According to reports, only three companies in China can build such a shield machine, and only four companies in the world can build it. Yang Hui, dean of China Communications Tianhe Design and Research Institute, said that they are already familiar with the technology, because they have accumulated technology for eight years before, and these are mature technologies for them.

The technology of CCCC Tianhe is also an innovation that keeps pace with the times. In view of the complex geological conditions, they have designed the shield machine in a targeted manner, and adopted a number of self-created technologies such as appropriate cutter head anti-caking cake design, layered backwashing technology of mud-water system, intelligent anti-settling control technology, automatic control of mud-water circulation system and so on.

Yang Hui said that the technology of shield machine was also blocked by western countries, but this did not hinder their research and development and production. China’s manufacturing industry has a certain technical strength, but the blockade has promoted the localization of many key technologies, and its localization rate has reached 95% at present. China super-large diameter slurry balance shield machine entered the overseas super-large diameter shield market monopolized by developed countries. What is even more proud is that the team that completed the project is a young team with an average age of only 28 years old. Dean Yang himself is a post-85 generation.

Next year, a larger and more complex shield machine will be built for the construction of the river-crossing tunnel in Nanjing, and it will compete with the products of foreign companies. A staff member said that public opinion is often more severe on China enterprises, but he still has confidence in the technology of China Communications and the level of domestic supporting industrial chains.

The three-dimensional parking garage of the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University opened the queuing parking building for medical vehicles, but it was "empty"

Qianlong-France Evening Joint Report (Reporter Gong Zhu) In order to alleviate the traffic congestion and parking difficulties around the hospital, last year, the Third Hospital of Peking University started to build a "mechanical three-dimensional parking garage", increasing the original 30 parking spaces to nearly 300. It is understood that the "parking building" was officially put into use in June.

Has the chronic disease of "full of cars" been cured?

At 2 o’clock in the afternoon of June 11th, the reporter came to the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University, which is located in Huayuan North Road, and saw that the citizens who came to see the doctor had already driven to the third traffic light on the road outside the hospital. One of the drivers told the reporter that it took nearly two hours to get to the hospital gate.

However, the mechanical three-dimensional parking garage officially put into use recently is in a "semi-paralyzed" state, and the building is "empty".

The parking administrator told the reporter that the new parking building has restrictions on the size of vehicles, and vehicles exceeding this size still need to park in the ground parking lot. In addition, because the ground parking lot and the three-dimensional parking building "share" an entrance, so "the big car is blocked in front, and when the ground parking lot is vacant, the small car should also be blocked in the back." The administrator said.

phenomenon

Vehicles waiting in line for medical treatment are "empty"

It is understood that in the past, there were only ground parking lots in the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University, and the number of parking spaces was small. Parking in the hospital had to wait in line at the door for a long time, which led to the consistent congestion at the surrounding intersections.

In order to improve the parking difficulty in hospitals, the foundation stone laying ceremony of mechanical three-dimensional parking garage was opened in the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University on May 29th last year. It is understood that the three-dimensional parking garage is located between the hospital beauty center building and the outpatient building, covering an area of 576 square meters. The parking building has a total of 12 floors and 24 meters high, with a total of 281 parking spaces, using vertical lifting double-column tower garage technology.

At 2 o’clock in the afternoon of June 11th, the reporter came to the Third Hospital of Peking University, which is located in Huayuan North Road, and saw that the vehicles driven by the citizens who came to see the doctor were lined up for nearly 1 kilometer, and they were discharged from the hospital gate to Longxiang Road (outside the third traffic light of the hospital). One of the drivers in the front told the reporter that he had been in line for nearly two hours and still had no vacancy.

The reporter saw at the scene that the ground parking lot was "hard to find", but in the mechanical three-dimensional parking garage that was officially put into use recently, it was "empty" and almost no vehicles were parked.

In this regard, a parking administrator told reporters that the new parking building has a small capacity specification, which limits the size of vehicles. Vehicles exceeding this size, such as medium and large vehicles, still need to park in the ground parking lot, and even vehicles within the size specification often encounter situations where they can’t park, so most parking spaces are empty.

Find business opportunities at the entrance of 39 yuan parking service Hospital   

Parking difficulty has become a major social problem, but from another perspective, helping users solve parking difficulties has also become a business opportunity.

At the intersection outside the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University, the reporter saw a man wearing a blue vest patrolling back and forth. He came forward and asked that he was the driver of "e-driver" and usually helped park around here during the day.

The man told reporters that his main purpose is to "help drivers who are in a hurry to stop and queue up for them". He has parked three cars today. If the time does not exceed 1 hour, the fee for one trip to parking service is 39 yuan.

In addition, some netizens in Weibo broke the news that there were arbitrary charges in the nearby parking lot. The reporter visited a roadside parking lot opposite the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University and found that there was no "arbitrary charges". The parking administrator told the reporter that the parking fee is 10 yuan/hour, and there is no charge within 15 minutes.

Explore the cause

The specifications are limited, and the garage can only enter the "car" 

The reporter saw at the scene that the new three-dimensional parking garage in the hospital is located between the beauty center building and the outpatient building of the hospital. There are six garage entrances, and each entrance is guarded by a parking administrator, and the driver is instructed to park the berth smoothly.

"Most parking spaces in the parking building are empty." A parking manager told reporters that the parking garage is currently "paraplegic". He explained that "the new parking building has restrictions on the size of vehicles, so the big car can’t get in and the small car can’t stop. However, because the ground parking lot and the three-dimensional parking garage in the courtyard have to enter from this entrance, the big car is blocked in front, and the small car will be blocked in the back when the ground parking lot is empty."

The reporter noticed that there are obvious vehicle size signs at the entrance of the parking garage. Among them, the bus size is less than or equal to 5.1 meters in length, less than or equal to 1.85 meters in width, less than or equal to 1.55 meters in height and less than or equal to 2.2 tons in weight.

However, the reality is that for comfort, people are more willing to buy SUVs or medium-sized and large cars now. Moreover, at the hospital site, the reporter also noticed that the citizens who came to see a doctor mainly drove such vehicles, and small cars accounted for a minority. Moreover, in the common models, most of the vehicle sizes are beyond the capacity specifications of the three-dimensional garage, which is easy to be "stuck". Therefore, car owners can only wait for the original few ground parking spaces.

In addition, the reporter learned at the scene that even the models that meet the specifications are basically in line with the "garage door". It is difficult for drivers to drive the car in one step, and some novices even need to get off the car repeatedly to check the distance.

"I have reversed the car several times. If I am a novice, I guess I can’t stop!" A car owner who just parked his car said that he spent nearly an hour in line today.

Coach Zhang of Jingshun Driving School also said that even the old drivers have to rub a few steering wheels to get in, which is very difficult for novices. Coach Zhang also said, "Generally, the open space in front of the garage entrance should be 1.5 to 2 times the length of the car, and the width of the garage should be 60cm wider than the car body (excluding the rearview mirror). Obviously, the width of the garage and the distance before the entrance are not enough, so it is very difficult to stop."

The reporter called the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University about the car capacity design of the parking building. As of press time, we have not received any relevant reply.
